I am a multi-racial person, African, English/Welsh, Scots-Irish, and Scandinavian. My hair is curly like a Jewish person's when I wear it natural and straight like a White person when I straighten it. There are so many products now available for ethic hair, which helps me to love my hair because it is so versatile. I do remember a time when I was bullied and called a zebra or told I had Nappy hair, which is laughable now, because I have beautiful hair and get so many compliments from my white co-workers and friends because my hair can be styled in a variety of ways and theirs cannot. It took me a while to embrace my hair and love the differences therein. There is a small percentage of people with naturally curly hair in the world, as opposed to straight hair, so love your curls, they're free! 😊
